Leave it to chance. Your turn.
Buzzloo

No. 09 · Every phone becomes a buzzer, at a party or remotely.

Online quiz buzzer

New Year’s Eve trivia, music quiz, family game night or a tournament in your group chat: open a room, everyone scans the QR code, and the phones become real buzzers. The server decides who buzzed first.

How does it work?

Mode 1 · Same room

One buzzer per phone

The host’s screen on the TV or a laptop, a buzzer on every phone. The first to press pops up big, with their own sound.

Mode 2 · Remote

A quiz in the WhatsApp group

Everyone takes turns asking a question. The first to open the link, buzz and answer right wins the point, even at 2 a.m.

How does it work?

  1. At a party, open a room on the TV or a computer: everyone scans the QR code and picks a name, a color and a sound.
  2. Ask your question and open the buzzers: the fastest player shows up big on screen. Click “Right” (+1 point) or “Wrong”, and the next player gets a turn.
  3. Remotely, create a game lasting 1 day to 1 week and send the link to the group: everyone asks a question in turn, and the others buzz in whenever they like.

The rules, mode by mode

Mode 1 · Same room

All the quiz questions

No more “I said it first!”

In a quiz with friends, the argument always comes at the same moment: two people shout the answer at the same time. With the Buzzloo buzzer, each phone sends its buzz to the server, and the time it reaches the server sets the order. The host’s screen shows the first player big, then the next ones with their gap to a hundredth of a second.

At a party: the TV on one side, the phones on the other

The host opens a room on the TV, a computer or a tablet. A QR code and a 4-character code appear: everyone scans, types a name, picks a color and a sound (a beep, a honk, a ding, a boing and more), and their phone becomes one big button. Up to 30 players per room.

When the host opens the buzzers, the first to press gets to answer. A player who’s too eager and buzzes before the buzzers open sees “Too soon!” and is locked out for a second. Wrong answer? That player can’t buzz again on this question, and the turn passes to the next one in buzz order. On a computer, three keys are enough: Space opens the buzzers, J marks a right answer and F a wrong one.

Remotely: a quiz that lasts a week

Friends spread across the country? Create a game lasting 1 day, 3 days or 1 week and send the link to your WhatsApp or Snapchat group. Everyone asks a question in turn, written by them or picked at random. The others open the link whenever they like, tap BUZZ and have 20 seconds to answer. If nobody gets it, it was a trick question: the person who asked it wins the point. At the end, share the podium with the group.

Before you start

Card games before the quiz? The score counter adds up rummy, Uno or Yacht dice and shows the scores on every phone. To play in teams, make random teams and give each team one phone. To decide who hosts each round, pick a random order. The full step-by-step, with the TV display and sound, is in our guide to turning your phone into a quiz buzzer, and the running order of a great evening is in our guide to hosting a quiz night.

Nothing to install, no account, no email address: a first name is enough. A room is deleted 24 hours after its last activity, a remote game 30 days after it ends.

Frequently asked questions

How many players can join?

Up to 30 players in a room at a party, and 20 in a remote game. For a bigger group, play in teams with one phone per team: random teams take one click.

Do the phones need to be on the same Wi-Fi?

No. Each phone connects to the website, over Wi-Fi or mobile data. Every phone and the host’s screen just need a connection.

How do I show the host’s screen on the TV?

Open the room in the TV’s browser, plug in a computer with HDMI, or mirror your tablet’s screen (Chromecast, AirPlay). The sound of the first buzz plays from that screen: remember to tap “Turn sound on”.

Can someone cheat by buzzing before everyone else?

Buzzing before the buzzers open shows “Too soon!” and locks the buzzer for a second. After that, what counts is the time the buzz reaches the server, the same for everyone.
